Thanks Chris, yes I love the colour. I started restoring one about 20 years ago that I had to sell before I'd finished, it was going to be the same blue. Really pleased to have an S1, pre FIAT and ex Italy. It's lovely.

Sat in a real one, may never wash again!
Definitely counts.
Great colour!!
Venturi Atlantique - single turbo v6 - 1 of 2 in the UK I think
Marcos Mantara 2.0 Turbo - they made 8 I believe, and made 157 Mantaras in total - most with Rover V8's
Esprit HC NA - one of the final batch of 57 in that spec before the model change to the Stephens shape
Defender 50th Anniversary - V8 auto (now 4.6l following rebuild).
and the STR in Stradale form, of course
Correction -
Mantara - 137 built overall. 15 were 2.0Turbo GTS variant.

I saw that real Stratos landed in Christchurch on Facebook, Paul, wonderd what the story was! We left Christchurch this morning for Dunedin, back to Christchurch on 2nd Dec across Arthur's Pass.
That’s a nice drive, and hopefully dry this time of year, can get VERY wet on the west coast. Get in contact when you’re back here if you get time.

Thanks Paul, yeah, you’ve got some stunning scenery and roads over here! Looks like I just miss the finish of the rally in Wanaka, which is a shame.
I'll DM you closer to the time, would be good to meet up if you are free.
Cheers Chris
